License To Market Leukemia Service in Canada

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 21 Aug 2007
Warnex (Laval, Canada) announced an exclusive license with Ipsogen SAS (Marseille, France) to market a service in Canada for the molecular diagnosis and classification of a group of leukemias.

The service is based on the analysis of variations in the JAK2 gene, to which Ipsogen has exclusive worldwide intellectual property rights. More...
A dominant gain-of-function V617F mutation in the JH2 kinase-like domain of JAK2A is present in a high proportion of patients with myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) such as polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and idiopathic myelofibrosis.

The president and CEO of Ipsogen, Vincent Fert, said, The medical community is now eager to integrate the JAK2 test into clinical practice. Ipsogen has recently launched the test both in the form of a product and a licensing program to react rapidly to these urgent medical needs.

Mark Busgang, president and CEO of Warnex commented, In addition to expanding our service offering in medical testing, this license provides Warnex with the exclusivity for JAK2 clinical testing performed in Canada, thus significantly enhancing our market position. Finding the JAK2 mutation is a major step forward in diagnosing myeloproliferative disorders.

(A) Maximum-intensity-projection images show abnormal findings for right diaphragm (arrowhead), bilateral round ligaments, peritoneum around bilateral ovaries, and left fallopian tube. Combined PET/MRI show hyperintense lesion with focal uptake inferior of right diaphragm, indicative of endometriosis (arrowhead, B). Confirmatory laparoscopy demonstrated extensive pelvic disease and implants of right diaphragm (C) that stained intensely positive for FAP (D).  (Image Credit: Schindler P, Brandt J, Bobe S, et al.
